This study attempts to suggest a new direction of the plastic arts education, first by examining a variety of cases in the admission policy depending on the existence of students' preeducation; and second, by analyzing the work process of students who were admitted. The flexible admission policy should be provided to select both groups of students: students with preeducation and students without preeducation. It is requested that the uniform selectional standard adopted by most universities should be changed into the diverse standards that can evaluate different educational back ground of students. This study will be helpful for the university professors to prepare for the new educational foundation and direction by enhancing the efficiency of teaching. This study also aims to suggest the curriculum and methods of the design education to provide the effective teaching of plastic arts and there by develop the better methods of education in this area.
